BOTTLE-PAC KAG E.

sPEcIFIcArIoni i To cir/M wiz/017@ t may concern:

Be it known that'I, FRANK'JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Packages, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates` to improvements whereby an ordinary bottle may without change lin the bottle itself he provided withrneans adapted to carry aplurality of small packages of material either'in liquid or other form, which are intended to be emptied from time to time into the said bottle. The meansemployed in the construction shown comprises a removable holder adapted to be passed over the neck of the bottle and seated upon the bottle below the neck, such holder being provided with a series of holes into which vials are adapted to be placed.

My invention also includes a casing of such form and proportions as to properly receive the bottle and the vial-carrying holder, towhich casing said holder is attached, so that` upon lifting the lcasing' from the bottle the vials Will also be removed to permit the ready pouring of liquid from the bottle.

My linvention also comprises certain details of construction hereinafter particularly point# j 1 lstruction shown consists of a base 16, that in- 'closes thel lower end of the bottle and lits snugly thereon; a long cylindrical bod-ylpored out. Y

' The invention is particularly designed forf use in connection with ink-bottles, as by it` there can be furnished in small compass the" material for making a large number of bottles of ink, inasmuch as eachrvial is intended to be lled with a suitable material which when combined with Water in the large b'ottle will form a quantity of satisfactory ink in such bottle.

That which I believe to be new will be` pointed out in the claims. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a bottle with the removable holder in place thereon, such holder being partly broken'away and a rportieri `of the inclosing casing being in section. Fig. 2 is Fig.'3 is a horizontal sec-v tion at line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail, being a perspective view of the removable holder. Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the removable holder and that portion of the casing to which the holder is attached. Fig.

formingrpar't of Lttersatent No.`739,604, dated September 22, .1903. A application tiled December 18,1902l Serial No. 135,716. (No model.)

G'is a side elevation of the bottle and the Clower portion 'of the casing as such parts appear when the parts shown in Fig. l5 are removed from the'hottle; and Fig. 7 is a view, partly in section, showing the parts represented in Figs; 5 and 6 nnited'and with the cover of the casin g raised.

Referring to the several ligures of the drawings, in which corresponding parts arev indicated by the same reference-numerals, 8 in- -dicatesthe body of a bottle, which bottle may be of ordinary'shape and material, the bottle shown having a cylindrical body, above :which is a substantially conical-shaped portion 9, carrying the neck portion l0.

A1l indicates a holder, preferably made of Wood, but which of course may be of any In its underfa'ce is'formed a large recess 12 of a size and shape to adapt the holder to be seated upon the conicalshaped portion 9 of the bottle, a central opening 13 in the holder, through which the neck of the bottle' can pass, permitting the holder "to be so placed on the bottle.

The upper face of the'holder is provided with a series of sockets 14, adapted to receive a series of vials 15 or other forms of packages containing material intended to be combined with fluid in the bottle.

The casing for the bottlel in the form of con f tion 17, and a 'cover' 18 for said body portion. The base portion i6 does not need to' be removed from the bottle during the operations of `lilling or pouring from the bottle, and it will therefore be always in place to receive upon it-the cylinder 17,Which must be slipped :off Whenever any of the contents of the bot- ',tle are to be poured out. l attached in'any suitable manner-to the cy- The holder 1I is lindrical body portion 17 ofthe casing, asindicated in Fig. 5, so that the removal of such body portion I7 carries with it the said holder I the distance from the edge beingsnbstantially IOG ' equal to the thickne'ss of the fiange of the cover 18, with the resultthat such flange fits in snugly between the vials and the wall of the body portion 17 of the casing and acts to hold the vials rmly in place.

With my invention employed in connection with inks, for example, the equivalent of a large number of bottles of ink can be stored in a space practically no greater than that occupied by asingle bottle, for each vial will be filled with a proper material, which, combined with water, will produce a supply of ink sufficient to fill the bottle. When ink is to be poured from the bottle, the cylindrical body portion 17'is to be lifted off, carrying with it, as before explained, the holder 1l and the series of vials, and is afterward to be replaced over the bottle and the base portion 16 of the casing. By this construction the bottle itself may always be covered and protected by a neat package, the vials will not be apt to be lost or destroyed, and the equivalent of a large number of bottles of ink may be kept in a small space.

While my invention is particularly designed for use in connection with inks and ink-bottles, it may of course be used in-connection with other liquids and their bottles. I also desire it to be understood that While I have shown and referred to the packages carried by the holder as vials I do not limit myself to such form of package.

That which I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a bottle, of a package-holder provided with a recessed bottom to adapt it to fit upon the upper part of the bottle with said package-holder below the upper end of said bottle, substantially as specified.

2. The combination with a bottle, and acasing therefor, of a package-holder Within and connected to said casing and adapted to fit around and rest upon said bottle, substantially as specified.

4. The combination with a bottle, of a removable casing therefor, and means carried by said casing for supporting a series of packages around the neck of the bottle, substantially as specified. y 5. The combination with abottle, and acasing therefor, of a package-holder adapted to be seated upon the upper part of the bottle and provided upon its upper face with means for holding a series of packages,and a cover for said casing havinga ange projecting into the space between said packages and said casing, substantially as specified.

6. The combination with a bottle, 0f a package-holder provided with a central opening and with a recessed bottom to adapt it to fit over and upon the upper part of the bottle vegane with said package-holder below the upper end of said bottle, substantially as specified.
